much more meat here than in the video.

Just a warning since it's not obvious at first glance: That link is over a decade old, and might no longer represent the views of the authors listed. Yudkowsky's contribution notes that it was specifically repudiated in 2001.

I was actually a teenager when I wrote my contribution to that. Okay, not an ordinary teenager, but I didn't exactly grow up into an ordinary adult either.

Remember folks, growing up on the Internet is like walking around for the rest of your life with your baby pictures stapled to your forehead.

I watched the first bit to find out how Vernor pronounces his last name--turns out the 'e' isn't silent.

The sound is really quiet, except for the audience, which is really loud. The audio needs to be run through a compressor, and probably a noise reducer.

(Alas: I was trying to record it myself, for podcasting, but due to brain fail my voice recorder was set on "pause" the whole time.)

There was no sound system in that room, hence the poor audio quality.
